1 Scope

YY/T 0003 is the Chinese standard for the manual hospital bed, the bed whose sections are adjusted by crank and linkage rather than by motor. It specifies the requirements such a bed has to meet, the test methods that verify them, and the instructions that have to accompany it, covering the mechanical strength, stability and safety of the adjusting mechanism and the parts a patient or a nurse comes into contact with. Manual beds remain the volume product in Chinese county hospitals and in export markets where powered beds are unaffordable, so the specification is a commercial document as much as a regulatory one. The 2023 edition replaces YY/T 0003-1990, a revision after more than three decades, which means a manufacturer working to the old text is working to something written for a different era of hospital furniture.

This document specifies the requirements, test methods and instructions for manual hospital beds. This document applies to manual beds. This product is intended for use with a height of 146 cm or more, a mass of 40 kg or more, and a weight of Patients with a BMI equal to or greater than 17.
